When it comes to decoration, I believe that most people's first experience is to keep stepping on pitfalls. The decoration industry is an industry with a very obvious information gap. If we know more about decoration knowledge at the beginning, we will definitely step on fewer pitfalls in the later stage. Here I would like to share with you some decoration pit avoidance experience summarized by people who have experienced decoration. I hope these lessons from the past will be helpful to you. Remember to collect them!

1. When you go to the building materials market to look at main materials, it is best not to disclose the community.

The quotations in the decoration industry are indeed chaotic. If you have been to a decoration market, you will find that many shopping guides will first ask you which community you are in, and then give you a quote.

At first I thought they were just asking casually, maybe they wanted to know more about the apartment, but later I realized that as long as you report your address information, it means they will lock the order directly. If you place an order with another company of the same brand later, the price can no longer be lowered. It is said that this is to prevent suppliers from mixing goods.

2. The person you think is a designer may just be a salesperson.

There are really not many professional designers nowadays, and many of the people you think are designers are actually just salesmen.

The so-called design drawings given to you are actually templates. When you give her suggestions, she will not listen to you and will directly reject your ideas. She has tried her best to sign the contract, but she is not good at the real design business. The things she recommends you to buy are basically kickbacks.

3. It is not recommended to buy tiles online. If you buy tiles in a physical store, you should ask about the price in advance.

Tiles are large and fragile items, so online shopping is not recommended. When we go to a physical store to buy tiles, we must listen carefully to the merchant's quotation. Is it calculated by piece or by square meter? In addition to the cost of the tiles themselves, you also have to consider the transportation fee, upstairs fee, and even the factory chamfering fee, etc. You must ask clearly before placing an order.

Another point worth reminding is that the tiles in the physical store may be different from what you imagine due to the lighting, so it is best to take a closer look at them in natural light before deciding whether to buy them.

4. If you want to install a sweeper and mop and a built-in dishwasher at home, you must plan it in advance.

Sweeping and mopping machines and dishwashers have become two essential helpers for many young people in decorating their homes, but the installation of these two helpers needs to be planned in advance before moving in.

You need to know their sizes, make room for them, and reserve water inlets, drains, and sockets. If you wait until you move in before considering purchasing them, the conditions for installation may not be met.

5. The more fancy something is, the less practical it is.

Many building materials sold these days are "gimmicks", such as three-color or four-color lights in the bedroom, which is completely unnecessary. Some people like warm tones, some like cool tones, basically just choose a favorite tone according to your needs, there is no need to press and switch between multiple colors, which is very troublesome.

Similarly, clothes drying racks with voice functions, refrigerators equipped with large screens for watching TV series, washing machines and range hoods that can connect to WIFI, etc., are almost all flashy and impractical. If you don't have a special pursuit for this, I really advise you not to choose it, just look at the basic functions.

6. It is inevitable to suffer losses in water and electricity reconstruction, so don’t go for “bargains”.

Many people say that water and electricity renovation is the most detrimental part of renovation, but this link cannot be saved. After all, it is a hidden project. Once the price is discounted, the product quality will also be discounted. In this way, a lot of hidden dangers will be left after a few years of moving in. It's scary to think about it.

Frankly speaking, it is indeed impossible to give an accurate quotation for water and electricity renovation at the beginning, and there is only a vague price. Therefore, when many additional items are generated later, we must feel uncomfortable. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring that the materials are up to standard, it is recommended to add a clause in the decoration contract, such as the actual price of water and electricity renovation and the estimated price cannot exceed 10% as a constraint.

Everyone needs a house, and it is inevitable to go through renovation. The tragedy is that many owners are cheated in this information-asymmetric transaction because they have no knowledge of renovation. It would be fine if they just spent a little more money, but sometimes they spend money but don’t get equal service or the decoration of the house they want. How sad it is! What do you think?
